That KEY doesn't open the doors. It ONLY locks the glove box!
The part of the fob that starts the car will not run out of batteries. I can't explain why, but just trust me on it. The part of the fob that sends signals to lock/unlock the doors which is the transponder WILL stop working when the battery in the fob dies. They are two completely separate devices in one piece of plastic.
For more info on this, please look up "RFID" on google.
The "fobgina" you're all talking about is not for when the fob runs out of batteries. It's for vallet parking. You pull the key out of the fob, use it to lock the glove box, and put the rest of the fob in the slot and rest of your keys go with the key in the fob... so you can take it with you and prevent the vallet drivers from getting in your glove box.
Any more questions?
